MODERATORS
Nearly one-in-five tweets are no longer publicly visible on the site just months after being posted. In 60% of these cases, the account that originally posted the tweet was made private, suspended or deleted entirely. In the other 40%, the account holder deleted the individual tweet, but the account itself still existed.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
It's bad that information is getting lost/locked up.
Depends on the information. My childhood web page should not be saved forever ;)
Touché, I have some rather embarrassing pages myself which have luckily passed to the great /dev/null in the cybersky. 🤭
Good, get it all offline so the LLM Assholes can't use it.
